Three Habits to Get the Most Out of Lent — Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

Friends, we come now to one of the most important periods of the liturgical year: Lent. During this time of preparation, the Church asks us to cultivate a deeper friendship with God through prayer, to control and reorder our desires for physical goods through fasting, and to show our love in the concrete way of giving alms.

So far, this has been my most intentional Lent; I will finally be confirmed and baptized this Easter!

Thank you, my Lord Bishop. This is still relevant in 2024

“Take the time…” is a very symbolic phrase … for me, it means take the time doing good with people around me, of course, my family comes first, then, take the time to pray the Rosary, join online Mass, no matter how busy the day is, and so on and so forth … “
Jesus took the time reaching out to His Apostles, teaching in synagogues, or anywhere He went where people gather and heard Him spoke in parables…!”

I quit drinking this lent. Pray for me

"One who is too busy to pray is busier than what God wants him/her to be".

I failed over the first 3 days. I did not realize it was Lent and I am not a Catholic. I am trying to let Jesus reach me.

I am going to pray... I will try to fast... and for the next 37 days (and beyond) I am going to work very hard to give up porn.

Amazing teachings about Lent. Thank you, Bishop.

Lord Jesus Christ son of the living God, have mercy on me as a sinner.

[mic.m.erohubie]

When I grow up I’d like to preach like this. Simple and deep

[evanslawrence]

Still relevant in 2023! 👍 Thank you Bishop Barron!

[lisacatherineschaubroeck]

Pray, fast, 2:07 and give alms this Lent. 🙏 Pray my rosary.

[debnterry]

Say hello to whomever you walk by, whether they are looking at you or not. The results are amazing.

[lynneivison]

thank you saying the rosary daily for 2 years has transformed my life and reduced my depression brilliant sung rosary on line so i don't feel alone

[ghs-andreadonova]

Thank you, Bishop Barron. I listen to your podcast while working out, instead of listening to music. I listen when my mind is at risk of wandering, when it's too quiet, and I listen when I need strength. Thank you.

Let us pray for the 12 souls that gave this a thumbs down. May God have mercy on their souls!

Great video Bishop Barron. Full of the information that I had forgotten. Thanks be to God. And may God bless you.

Just a reminder to all that daily Mass online is offered by many parishes in a way to deal with the Covid-Work at Home issue. It's a great way to take 30 minutes a day to start ones' day- Thank you Bishop Robert for the ideas!

[gailgoth]

I needed that. The pipes burst in my apartment building, sprinklers came on, ceilings collapsed, and mandatory evacuation by the fire marshall. Some folks lost everything they own. Thanks for reminding me to focus on what's important. It has been frightening, bouncing from place to place and not knowing when I might have a home again, but this message reminded me of my blessings that I do have. Thank you Bishop Barron.

I'm currently a protestant, but last Advent I decided to follow the St Philip's Fast, and I found it very fruitful. Because of how good it was, I decided to adopt the Great Fast from the Eastern church this Lent, a 49 day fast with quite strict rules of no meat or fish, dairy, poultry, or wine or oil(excepting certain saints' feasts). There is so much in fasting that is fruitful for the spirit. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for all that is Good in this life that we can enjoy, and for the reminder that we cannot live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God the Father. Amen.

[Wakeup]

I testify that the Holy Rosary and you have reached inside me and gotten the best and God isn't done with me yet... Lear the Rosary.and do it daily and watch how you change.
